Abstract
A lighting device is provided to include a plurality of lens bodies. The connecting portion connecting the plurality of lens bodies includes a first major surface and a second major surface opposite to the first major surface. The first major surface is in contact with the lateral portion at a first contact under an outer edge of the leading lens. The second major surface is in contact with the lateral portion at a second contact located below the first contact. The first contact is located outside of a point of intersection along the first major surface with respect to the center of each lens body, the point of intersection at which an extraction of the first major surface intersects with an extension of a ray of the emitted light which is incident on the light incident surface and is projected on the second contact.
